No, the scene where shes "inspecting" the girls, the mutilation is a right of womanhood, the first 2 were not virgins, she was. whioch is why they were going to do it to her. the other 2 were already "women"

Props to Roth then, whatever one's feelings on Inferno are; rare is the horror film gutsy enough to invert the much hackneyed "virgin home free; every other gal dies" trope -

You know what IS bad writing? The fact that all this didn't factor in at the ending. Think about it, FGM was her main concern at the beginning, and here was the opportunity to use the media to bring attention to it. All she had to do is tell the truth. Rather she lied to further some other agenda. Disappointing.

Well uh no..I knew at the point when she was penetrated what was to come but I didn't research so deep into this movie prior to viewing to know that was to come. And having done FGM myself in class as a presentation its not usually something that specific part of the world practices..as the other poster pointed out had it been in Africa or something yea I'd think not only are they about to be lunch but she's getting mutilated as well.

Not really, I can't come up with a movie quickly buy the TV series "Sopranos" was noted for introducing story lines that went no where and left the viewer hanging. One of the worst one was the Russian special forces guy that they took in the woods to shoot.

So crazy how Justine was so nerved by FGM prior to her trip and ended up being in a situation where she herself was an inch close to a FGM.
It was simple foreshadowing, as well as making sure the audience knew exactly what FGM entails before using it as a horror device later in the movie.
I think they adroitly imparted that knowledge in the classroom scene, with the characters learning what it involves. That prevents it from coming off as exposition or just an info dump.
Later when Justine's tied up and about to be mutilated, the scene is that much more disturbing because we'd just been given a graphic description of what it entails an hour ago. There are people who really don't know FGM exists, and there are plenty of people who know what it is in an abstract way, but don't know all the uncomfortable details.
